Art, wine and the spirit of conversation

Dining at OneEighty extends well beyond what arrives on the plate. Guests dine among works from the Ellerman House art collection, creating an environment that feels both culturally rich and comfortably lived in.

Wine plays an equally important role. Drawing from the house collection, pairings are selected to complement the menu and bring another layer of enjoyment to the experience. Whether over a long lunch overlooking the Atlantic or an intimate evening dinner, there is a sense of ease to everything. Attention to detail is ever-present, but never overstated.
